If any of these systems require service, the OBD
II system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and
other information to assist your service technician
in making repairs. Alt hough your vehicle will
usually be drivable and not need towing, see an
authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.

cause further damage to the emission con-
trol system. It could also affect fuel economy
and driveability.The vehicle must be serviced
before any emissions tests can be per-
formed.
• If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is
running, severe catalytic converter damage
and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.
